Some areas for improvement but for this part of the world it was really well organized. The manager was very fast to respond to messages both on here and on WhatsApp. Piece of advice for travelers, make sure you know what you paid for, as there were several mix-ups about that (eg they kept trying to put me in a shared room when I had paid a single supplement, hotels saying breakfast was included when it wasn't), but if you keep track of what your agreement says they will fix it. There was also a switch-up where I signed up for a day tour and the one I was given is not the one I signed up for; I would have liked to be asked in advance if that was OK instead of surprised by it. Advice to the tour operator, please include a packing list. Several times I was advised to bring something on a day tour that I was not aware I needed, such as a headlamp or boots. Also, the first day at the Tsingy was very strenuous and NOT for people who have any fear of heights--fortunately this was OK for my group but I think people should be aware of this before they sign up. The hotels were nice and we were easily able to find vegetarian meals everywhere we went. The guides were good and the drivers were really impressive getting us through difficult terrain. Anyways this is a great way to see the highlights of Madagascar in a small amount of time, so I would recommend it for people who are comfortable traveling in sub-Saharan Africa.
Baobab SafariWe enjoyed our wildlife walks in the dry forest, both nighttime and daytime. The tour of petite tsingy was impressive - amazingly eroded but very sharp rock forms. The boat cruise was on a tiny catamaran of hollowed-out trunks - quite an experience in itself in addition to exploring beautiful caves on shore. And what a beautiful sunset we saw at the Baobab Allee! Mr. Tovo was an exceptional guide for the Morondava-portion. Mr. Kiady was an excellent guide in Antananarivo-portion showing us the most interesting sites and taking care of all our needs. Kudos to Aristide who answered our endless pre-trip questions.
Western wonder (Baobab + Kirindy + Tsingy discovery) & Lemurs park visitOverall Fosa Travel did a great job in delivering a tour that was very satisfying and exhilarating, and well suited to our requirements. This, within the contraints of resources available in the country, in terms of hotel quality especially in Tsingy. Our driver guide Lolo was very good, helpful and resourceful. Zaka was also helpful and resourceful, however we did find him opinionated and offering unsolicited advice, particularly for tipping others, which in our opinion was not his business at all. This did cause some irritation. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and thank Fosa Travel for their help and efficiency. Would definitely recommend.

Best time to visit Madagascar
- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn creates perfect conditions for exploring Madagascar's wildlife routes, especially when combining the Tsingy rock formations with the coastal regions. Our 10-14 day circuits from Antananarivo westward let you experience how the landscape changes day by day. Morning walks through Andasibe-Mantadia often bring you close to Indri families, while afternoons at the Palmarium Reserve give you a shot at spotting the rare Aye-Aye. These autumn routes work well because they mix up the activity levels - one morning you're climbing through limestone formations, then that afternoon you're drifting along the Manambolo River in a local pirogue boat. Our travelers tell us the night walks are particularly good this season; you'll often spot mouse lemurs, chameleons in various colors and birds that only come out after dark.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Madagascar's winter tours combine rich wildlife encounters and cultural discoveries that set them apart in our booking data. The comprehensive 14-day journey starts with Indri lemur tracking through Andasibe's eastern rainforests, moves inland to find golden bamboo lemurs in misty Ranomafana valleys, and finishes at the Avenue of Baobabs for remarkable sunset photography. Our guests often mention how guides maximize winter wildlife spotting, knowing the perfect times to find nocturnal creatures like mouse lemurs, leaf-tailed geckos and other secretive species. The 10-day western circuit blends time at Kirindy forest, where you'll spot unusual giant jumping rats and fossa, with laid-back river travel down the Tsiribihina, sleeping on peaceful sandbanks near riverside communities. Winter provides photographers with excellent clear conditions, perfect for capturing everything from tiny chameleons to towering ancient baobabs. The guides earn consistent praise for weaving together wildlife experiences with authentic cultural moments, taking time in Ambositra to observe traditional silk weaving and sharing knowledge of medicinal forest plants during nature walks.

- Spring 2027
Madagascar's spring routes have our travelers buzzing about a few standout combinations. The tours linking Andasibe's rainforests with the Tsingy formations are particularly excellent, with guides like Solofo and Patrick leading wildlife walks to spot golden bamboo lemurs at their most active. Eastern rainforest circuits shine in spring, where you'll join dawn treks to find Indri lemurs calling through misty canopies, and spend afternoons learning local woodcarving techniques in Ambositra. The western paths through Kirindy Forest to the Avenue of Baobabs work perfectly this season, blending wildlife tracking, river explorations and cultural encounters. Our guests appreciate how these seasonal tours adapt to their interests, from extra photography time with rare aye-aye lemurs at Palmarium Reserve, joining village music sessions along the Tsiribihina River or diving into local traditions. Tours connecting Ranomafana's lush valleys with Isalo's dramatic canyons are among our most requested, offering a mix of wildlife spotting, tree planting initiatives and also visits to traditional silk workshops.

- Summer 2027
Madagascar opens up beautifully in summer with tours that make the most of the good weather. Our main routes blend three different experiences - you'll begin in Andasibe's eastern rainforests looking for Indri lemurs, move south into Ranomafana's valley systems and finally head west to catch the sun setting behind the Baobab trees. What makes these trips work so well is how they combine wildlife watching with local culture - your day might start tracking golden bamboo lemurs and end learning traditional woodcarving techniques in Ambositra. The Tsiribihina river tours really shine in summer too; you can camp right on the sandbars and often join nearby villages for their evening music and traditional dancing.
